Issue 21859

I have discovered that when I import a dBase file that I can certainly get the 
data connected to a data source. But the connection will not recognize memo 
fields as being just that memo fields. It goes to about 50 or so characters & 
no more. The steps of import are to use the standard tabs in sequence within 
Data Sources dialog, & that doesn't work. I tried creating a new table scheme 
on the Tables tab, via the New Table Design button after I found that the Edit 
Table button also didn't enable this. It seems, therefore, that this is a bug, 
& requires some work. Since dBase is the only native way without using an 
outside database to connect without another package in a read/write way that I 
know of, (only that I know of), within OpenOffice, this would be a pretty 
important thing to fix. Anyone using OpenOffice as a contact manager or for 
notes on invoices or other things, as a quick desktop utility would find this 
to be pretty important, pretty fast. I would suggest that this needs to be 
raised on the priority stack, to make it work.
